Chapter: 1972
He placed a teapot and teacup in front of Pyo-wol and said,
�A ship carrying Longjing tea have arrived yesterday, so I have it prepared for you. Please have a taste. Let me know immediately it�s not to your liking.�
�Mmm!�
Pyo-wol nodded and lifted the teacup.
After taking a sip of tea, Pyo-wol spoke,
�It�s good.�
�I�m glad to hear it, then please wait here for a moment as I bring out the food.�
The innkeeper replied with a wide smile before walking away.�
Left alone, Pyo-wol sipped his tea and looked out the window.
About three or four boats were sailing against the current, cutting through the waters of Lake Tai on the opposite side. Unlike fishing boats or cruise ships, these boats had a streamlined shape that made it easier to navigate against the current.
Just as Pyo-wol frowned slightly at the sight of the boats, a type which he had never seen before,
�The boat you�re looking at is owned by the Changjiang Fortress.�
Pyo-wol heard a voice from behind him.
Turning his head, he saw a shabbily dressed old man standing.�
A strong odor of blood was emanating from the old man.
Pyo-wol recognized the identity of the old man.�
�The manager of Hao clan�s Lake Tai branch.�
�It�s been a while.�
The old man was none other than the butcher Seobok, the head of the Lake Tai branch of the Hao clan. The large knife he usually carried for slaughtering cattle was nowhere to be seen.
�Would you mind if I sit down?�
�Take a seat.�
�Thank you.�
After the old man sat across from Pyo-wol, Pyo-wol asked,
�Those boats belong to Changjiang Fortress?�
�Yes.�
�Why is the Changjiang Fortress heading towards that direction?�
�Isn�t it obvious? They�re trying to establish ties with Zhao Yuseol, the new emerging power in the Nanjing sect.��
�Is that so?�
�Now that Young Master Zhao Yiguang ended up like that, it�s only natural for them to join hands with Zhao Yuseol. Moreover, Zhao Yuseol is a woman. It would not be strange at all for Changjiang Fortress�s Bok Hojin to have his eyes on her.�
�Do you think Zhao Yuseol will join hands with Bok Hojin?� JrNovels.com
